Toddler tantrums, pacifier weaning & when should dad stop traveling before birth?

About this episode

The episode discusses toddler tantrums, pacifier weaning, and considerations for dads traveling before the birth of their child.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re in the middle of some BIG transitions over here… including officially saying goodbye to the pacifier (BEBE) 😭 We get into how it’s going, whether we’ve now entered the full-blown tantrum era, and all the little ways toddlerhood keeps you humble (daily). We also talk about a question that is VERY relevant right now: when should dad actually stop traveling before birth? (s/o to the person who compared Harrison’s HYROX race to Scottie Scheffler withdrawing from the Houston Open because unfortunately that did send us.) We also get into how to know when your baby has dropped (hand between b00bs and your belly), whether you can tell who your baby looks like from an ultrasound (we think he looks like Tate????), and why pregnancy makes your hair and nails grow like crazy. Plus, our reality TV break (obviously), including Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat, Southern Charm, and SLOMW, before somehow ending up in a full Hannah Montana / child star comeback tangent (+ Harrison’s childhood celeb crush lol). Then we get into whether United’s new “Relax Row” is actually genius or completely ridiculous, the worst types of dads in the delivery room…
